hey coaches....
i found some old reels of game film in the field house of my current school......it just so happens to be the school my dad graduated from in 69......some of it is labeled 1968....so for obvious reasons i'd like to save it.......
how in the world this film stayed in the field house for 40 years is probably for another thread.....i guess they've never thrown anything away......
any ideas about getting this film restored? i wouldn't know where to start looking for a projector......if i had one, i wouldn't know how to operate it....i think i've watched one film from a projector in junior high in 1987.......
maybe call a local college with some sort of audio-visual department?
anyway, any ideas are appreciated......

At my old school the HC found a bunch and borrowed a projector from the library.. and dubbed it onto VHS.. and sold copies as a fund raiser..
I found a bunch the other day at my school.. may keep digging around and find some Terry Bradshaw film..

If they are old, and you really want to try to keep them, I would look for someone who can do film restoration. When I was in high school , we found tons of old films in an old storage room we were converting for football gear. Well, our coach got a projector and loaded one of the films and basically started to disintegrate right in the projector! So he had them sent to a local camera shop who could do the copy/restore .
So be carefull.

I would probably take it to a film reproduction place in or near your city. These type of places produce many copies of weddings,graduation,video yearbooks,etc.
